Hey there,
Thanks for the help it is great - just one thing I have noticed as well - B500 is often at the start of these HEX ID strings, (which translates as µ) and it was indicated that this means ST Micro, while it makes sense, I am not entirely convinced of this because for those that are displaying µ at the start when viewed from the DSLAM, this is then converted into the words (United States), so I am suspecting that this might be that the first 2 digits of the ID (often dropped when viewed from DSLAM) is some sort of country ID.
Kitz I will private message you the details of what I have put together when it is starting to make more sense to me, so you can update the modem chipset list. BTW I am a big fan! I wish my site could be a quarter as good as yours!
I have some more modem ID trends from the DSLAM view that I was trying to work out below too - if anyone recognises them:
The Serial on the left is an example Serial format that I found a trend of and they seem to be modem serial numbers, and some of them are indicating firmware versions etc.
I put a description of what the trend I saw looked like. I just picked out those that were the most common.
Some were just the MAC address whish is easy to ID, but there are others there too.
